Stick With It

The laminates are ready to be stuck together. I have cut some veneer strips to rough size and have drilled holes at the extreme ends so that all the parts should go together properly without slipping about like a really slippery thing wearing slippers and coated in slippery stuff. There are several different layers, but I don't think I can glue, assemble and clamp all of them in one hit, so I will separate them out. Here's the first lot - notice all the clamps that I managed to borrow!

I am using titebond - a sort of PVA based glue. I gave it 6-8hrs to dry before I took the clamps off and sandwiched another layer on. It does get a bit messy - but thats part of the fun...
